Stolon; rhizome
Rate this question:
Only woody plants show primary growth
Primary growth increases the length of the plant.
The ground meristem is a primary meristem that gives rise to ground tissue system.
The procambium is a primary meristem that produces the primary vascular tissue system
The periderm is not involved in primary growth.

Rate this question:
Forms a boundary between the cortex and inner vascular cylinder of the root
Contains bands of impenetrable lidin and suberin called a Casperian strip that controls water and nutrient
Is a single layer of rectangular cells
All of the above
None of the above.
Rate this question:
Woody stems contain secondary growth
Secondary phloem accumulates to form wood
Secondary xylem accumulates to form wood
Cork cambium produces waterproof cork cells that become bark
The vascular cambium is located between the xylem and the phloem of the vascular bundles in a woody stem.
Rate this question:
Spines, tendrils, and traps are specialized leaf modifications
Gas exchange occurs through tiny openings in the leaf surface called stomata
Regulation of gas exchange through the leaf is the responsibility of the guard cels
Vascular tissue is found in both eudicot and monocot leaves
The photosynthetic mesophyll is typically made up of an upper spongy layer and a lower palasiade layer.
Rate this question:
Tracheid
Sieve-tube member
Vessel element
Guard cell
Fibers
Rate this question:
Represents the number of bark layers
Represents the number of layers of secondary xylem
Can be used to determine the age of a tree
Both A & C
Both B & C
Rate this question:
Periderm
Phellom
Phloem
Pericycle
Casperian strip
Rate this question:
Decomposition of organic matter
Weathering or transport of bedrock
Activity of animals such as earthworms
All of the above
None of the above
Rate this question:
The C horizon is newly weathered bedrock
The B horizon contains the soluble chemicals leeched from the A horizon
The A horizon is the rich topsoil and contains humus and litter
All of the above
None of the above
Rate this question:
Sand because is has the greatest pore space
Clay because it holds onto water better than silt or sand
Silt because it is intermediate between sand and clay in size
Loam, a mixture of all size soil particles and therefore able to hold onto water but be porous
Bedrock because its solid surface prevents the entry of water and gaseous oxygen
Rate this question:
As guard cells become turgid, stomata open
There are two guard cells around each stomata
Guard cells take up potassium ions and water enters the guard cells
Guards cells surrounding stomata lack chloroplasts that other epidermal cells contain
Stomata open and close on a daily basis, even if kept in the dark, on a circadian rhythem
